When you are certain you are right about something it can be very hard to maintain a steely respect for someone who sees things in a fundamentally different way.
Guys, I think you'd love this intellectual show which I just discovered on PBS by accident last year. It's been on for nine seasons (!!!) so far and I forced myself to stop watching after about 10 episodes just so I could start at the very beginning with DVD's (there might be a logical progression to the episodes).

This looks pretty neat, I'll check it out. It's kinda funny because I have started reading some of Carl Sagan's work, so this should blend nicely with that.

I'll play some of these videos later today. Looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
At first glance, it looks a little like Through the Wormhole by Morgan Freeman, which is my current favorite show.

I caught a few of those on SyFy a year or two ago, but then it seemed to have disappeared. I would say Closer to Truth is a lot more intellectual and conversationalist (and very little graphics) than Through the Wormhole.

You got me. I don't see it at the PBS shop anymore.
